New Risk • 13h
New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 4.8% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings have declined by 4.8% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risk Less than 1 year of cash runway based on current free cash flow (-kr156m). Reported Earnings • Apr 24

Revenue is forecast to grow 32% p.a. on average during the next 3 years, compared to a 8.3% growth forecast for the Electronic industry in Sweden. Over the last 3 years on average, earnings per share has increased by 41% per year but the company’s share price has only increased by 9% per year, which means it is significantly lagging earnings growth.

Smart Eye and Green Hills Software Demonstrate Integrated Driver Monitoring and Mixed-Criticality Platform for Modern Vehicle Architectures At Ces 2026 Smart Eye and Green Hills Software announced a joint demonstration at CES 2026 highlighting how safety-critical driver monitoring can be seamlessly integrated into modern, consolidated automotive software-defined vehicle architectures. Together, Smart Eye and Green Hills are demonstrating a production-ready foundation for OEMs and Tier 1s seeking to accelerate the development and deployment of safe and secure driver monitoring on modern, software-defined vehicle architectures. The combined solution helps automakers reduce integration complexity, shorten validation cycles, and meet the growing safety and regulatory requirements for driver monitoring, including the EU General Safety Regulation (GSR) and the European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP). Built on production-grade software, the demo showcases Smart Eye's driver monitoring software running alongside a digital instrument cluster on a single automotive engine control unit (ECU) powered by Green Hills Software's ASIL-certified INTEGRITY®? real-time operating system (RTOS). The solution demonstrates how mixed-critical applications - like Smart Eye's safety-critical DMS - can run safely and securely on the same compute platform while maintaining proven isolation and freedom-from-interference from other areas of the platform. To illustrate this architecture in action, the demo is part of a network of multiple in-vehicle ECUs, a cloud-connected gateway, and a driving simulation environment. Real-world driving events generated by the CARLA simulation are fed into the vehicle network, triggering visual alerts on the instrument cluster. When Smart Eye's software detects driver distraction, the system broadcasts a DMS event across the network, prompting the cluster to display a " driver break needed" or "attention" warning on the cluster panel. These events are simultaneously logged by the gateway ECU and transmitted to the cloud by the gateway ECU for analytics and diagnostics. The demonstration also highlights Green Hills Software's ASIL -certified next-generation development environment, giving developers a unified view across all applications and ECUs. In an intuitive graphical timeline display, engineers can trace events, monitor network messaging, and debug interactions across the cluster, gateway, zonal controller, and driver monitoring applications - significantly increasing developer productivity while reducing development and integration time. Smart Eye and Green Hills Software will showcase their integrated automotive platform at CES 2026, January 6-9, in the Green Hills Software booth #6227 in the West Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center. For OEMs and partners interested in a demonstration, meeting requests can be submitted at the demonstration. Announcement • Jan 03
Smart Eye Brings Breakthrough Impairment Detection and Advanced In-Cabin Intelligence to CES 2026 Smart Eye returns to CES 2026 with a lineup that shows how in-cabin intelligence is progressing from isolated features to a more connected approach to understanding what happens inside the vehicle. The demonstrations combine new breakthroughs in understanding driver and occupant behavior with integration approaches designed to fit naturally into modern cockpit and electronic architectures.

Smart Eye’S Ais Driver Support System Confirms for Regulatory Approval Homologation with Leading Bus Manufacturer Solaris Smart Eye announced that its AIS Commercial Vehicle Alert driver support system has successfully passed homologation with Polish bus manufacturer Solaris . This certification ensures compliance with the EU's General Safety Regulation, which mandates the use of advanced drowsiness detection technology in all new trucks, buses, and cars. Solaris, a leading manufacturer of city and intercity buses in Europe, is one of the first to achieve homologation with Smart Eye's AIS CV Alert system, closely following another European bus manufacturer's successful certification. First launched in October 2023, AIS CV Alert was designed to provide bus and truck manufacturers with an in-cabin solution that offers precise drowsiness detection and guarantees immediate GSR compliance. Using sophisticated computer vision and AI, the system detects early signs of drowsiness, helping to prevent accidents. To deploy the AIS CV Alert system at Solaris, Smart Eye partnered with Skymatik, a company specializing in advanced automation and integration solutions. Together, they supported Solaris in successfully implementing the system, achieving full compliance with EU GSR regulations. Smart Eye's AIS driver support system line not only meets today's regulatory requirements but also provides the flexibility to adapt to future safety demands, including the GSR's mandate on camera-based driver distraction detection. This new mandate came into force for all new type-registered vehicles in July 2024 and will encompass all new vehicles from July 2026. To address this, Smart Eye also recently launched AIS Focus, a system specifically designed to detect driver distraction in real-time, ensuring compliance with evolving GSR standards.

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 5.9% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 2 years (kr51m net loss in 2 years).

Smart Eye Unveils New Driver Monitoring System Metric to Enhance Road Safety and Driver Health At Incabin Brussels 2023 Smart Eye announced it will showcase its new DMS metric at InCabin Brussels, set to take place on June 20-22, 2023. The inclusion of vital signs detection within Smart Eye's leading DMS software empowers fully remote monitoring of heart and respiration rates, fostering improved road safety while ensuring the well-being of drivers. Responding to the demands of automotive OEMs, Smart Eye has developed this innovative metric to address critical aspects of driver health and safety. By tracking the driver's physiological indicators, this new feature enables the early detection of sudden illnesses or unresponsive behavior while operating a vehicle. This capability can prove life-saving in situations where a driver experiences unforeseen health conditions, such as heart attacks or seizures. Additionally, the technology facilitates the transmission of post-crash data, including heart and respiration rates, to emergency responders, ultimately leading to more efficient healthcare interventions. Using AI methods, the new feature analyzes multiple physiological signals to accurately determine the driver's heart and respiration rates. Notably, Smart Eye utilizes remote photoplethysmography (rPPG), a non-contact, camera-based method that measures variations in light reflection from the skin, enabling the estimation of heart rate. Another method employed is micro movement analysis, allowing the software to identify subtle changes in movements associated with breathing or pulse, undetectable to the human eye. Smart Eye's technology uses 940 nanometer wavelength infrared light to detect reflections on the skin, ensuring an unobtrusive user experience. This infrared light also enables detection in the challenging lighting conditions in a moving vehicle, such as darkness or intense sunlight. Smart Eye will showcase this new feature onsite at InCabin Brussels, June 20-22, 20 23. Reported Earnings • May 17
